Dogs have developed a slightly different life history to us. We invest in growth for the first 20 years of our lives, then reproduction for the next, then we eventually die. It is probable that in the history of dog evolution, a certain size has resulted in maximum fitness in their environment, and so dogs will invest in growth until they reach that size, then invest in reproduction. After this, the deleterious alleles (which natural selection is blind to, as the organism has already passed on its genes) will eventually cause dogs to die at an earlier age.
